Nice entrance, and good to see you building again...!!

If it is going to be peep-friendly, then look at the signs "Guest Relations" , compare it to the size of that handyman and you'll know that peeps cannot read that one without breaking their necks (unless from very far away...)
If it's not going to be peep-friendly, then it does not matter of course.

^ WoW, PenguinBob....you seem to be involved in this one, just like I am.....lol!!

Only difference might be that I am working in the field as a doctor for a long time now, and you are not??
Which, of course, does not mean that my thougts/reasoning will be necessarily better than yours, for with these things a personal style of life/believe in humanity/science etc. ( or church/religion for others) also is of big influence on how one approaches things and want to see things,

And...ehh...either you did not take enough time to read what I said or just misunderstood/misinterpreted it (last things could be very logical, and due to me, for as English is not my mother-tongue, I often am expressing myself in a cripple way...)

Anyway, I think the topic-starter can have some new "food" by our thoughts also, and hopefully there'll come some more from others then still.....

Doesn't happen anymore in the US. Since about 8 years ago the most doctors can get from drug reps is a meal and those pens.

^ as I don't work there, I am not really up-to-date with what happens in US or " is supposed to be allowed"officially there".... the only thing I know about what happens in practice there is from what I hear from my psychiatrists-colleagues overthere, as well as what I know from my work here in Holland ....and of course, like with everything, there's a big gap and grey field between what is "allowed" (legally etc...) and how it is executed in daily life......But....ehhh.... from what I know from my American colleagues is absolutely the contrary to "Doesn't happen anymore in the US".....(lol!!)

If everything could be controlled so that doctors wouldn't help give people with a mental addiction to marijuana the drug, if it were legalized across the board, and if insurance plans wouldn't reimburse prescriptions of marijuana, I'd be all for it. All of those things will never always happen, though.

^ you may be right that it will " never" happen (though who knows...), but then that might not be because of the reason you mention: the majority of doctors is not wanting/willing to "give people with a mental addiction to marijuana the drug", at least not more than, or less than, that they on a daily basis are willing to give tons of people other drugs (= medicins) which those people are addicted to (and of which many are far and far more dangerous than cannabis (marijuana) is..... .
Malicious doctors?
No. Only the field of medicins (of which the majority are "drugs", with lots of unwanted side-effects as well as a big chance of getting, physically as well as mentally, "addicted" to them), is so huge that no practicing doctor that still wants to see at least 2 patients a day could ever invest the time to study what is best. So they sincerely do their best, and, like all human beings, have to rely on, and are influenced by, the ones who do the investigation/research (the medical/pharmaceutical giants) and what is officially made available, by laws and restrictions from politicians, all with their own hidden agenda's and interests.

Also, haven't hydrocodone, oxycodone and other morphine based drugs gone generic? Wouldn't that be what marijuana would be replacing?

^ No, I don't think so.

Some simple useful links, just to start with:

hydrocodone

Oxycodone

Cannabis

(If you ever want to dig into it - or have to write a thesis about it or so - compare side-effects, chances of addiction/abuse/deaths etc., and wonder, wonder, wonder....why some are "legal" and the other is not.............)

Mozilla and Firefox.

Not for so many skins or add-ons or whatever...but just because you can configure it (in "about:") much more to your own likings, while with IE you are always stuck with that - by me - unwanted/mystical and lousy things that MicroSoft/''Bill Gates'' wants to force through your throat...... and just makes it - IE- the still most "threathening" thing you can use out of safety-reasons....

As I said earlier this evening: would be between The Beatles and Rosetta for me.
Both great micro-parks...!!

Yes, been too busy last months with other things to have time for creating in RCT, but The Beatles make me jealous on how you did so lively/successfully execute that theme, and then on such a small map!!! ( I'll pick up my Music Masters coming weeks, and I don't do The Beatles - never planned to - but very impressed with what you did there to get that theme alive so convincingly!!!)

Voted Rosetta.

The so elegant executed fantasy (sorry, know you love to be "realistic", but I love your fantasy!! especially as in it's way it's made so "realistic", LoL!!!), combined with the innumerous nice details and balance, nice curling coaster as well as the fact that it kept turning around in my mind from every side/view and stayed so interesting, blew me over no doubt.......
Great work!
